Earbuds Round-Up
Jan 27, 2016 at 4:26 PM Post #2,101 of 75,535
  Monks are playing good, fast, great resolution and nice bass impact, but they are too big and uncomfortable. And could have a little more warmth on midrange. Yuin PK3 are extremely comfortable, but they play too warm and have a very extended midrange. What headphones will be free from defects in the above models and combine their advantages? Remote is a nice addition. Maybe the Pioneer SE-CE521? Remax 303? Blue Ever Blue 328R? Sidy / BGVP KT100?

Just want to comment that most of the good earbuds are pretty big for some reason.

If I had to guess the larger driver size allows for more bass/air movement, which is important because the unsealed/open-ear design?

Sorry for not answering to your post earlier, totally missed it.

Larger drivers seem to correlate to larger soundstage very often in the headphones I've seen and heard. Like, look at the HD800's, 56mm drivers are massive!
With the extra power, they might also relate to sub-bass as you said, the Sony XB1000's have 70mm drivers.
